About
our classes
Hannan's Bellydance Studio is able to support your dance goals,
whatever they may be. Should you wish to gain fitness, flexibility,
grace, and poise through dance, we
would love to help you with that. If you just want to have fun while
learning
about dance and music, we're there for you, too. For students with
more serious goals in mind or the desire to become a professional,
we
are ready to help you meet your goals.
Your happiness is our first priority. We will NOT push you to have
more serious goals than you would like. Of course, if you want to
pursue dance
more diligently, we will fully support you and push you. Keep talking
to your teachers about your dance goals, we're here for you!
We are the first studio in Canada to offer a comprehensive curriculum.
This curriculum takes the guess work and frustration out of learning.
All of our levels are divided into modules. You can start in any
module at any time with the assurance that you will gain complete
training in that level. Please see the level section below for detailed
information.
We offer assesments to help you tract and build your skills. The
assessment in the introductory beginner level during class at the
second to last class of each session. The assessments for all other
levels are conducted on the second to last Sunday of each session.

New students start with Introductory Beginner.
Beginner is a fun, sweaty, dance-filled experience! Beginners bellydance
to great music with motivation from friendly, dedicated bellydance
teachers. As you dance the hour away, you will be introduced to
the fundamental posture, isolations, steps, shimmies, and accents
of bellydance. As well, you will start dancing with the elegant
and ethereal veil. After twelve weeks of introductory beginner,
we suggest that you participate in the in-class assessment to determine
if you should move to continuing beginner.
Continuing beginner students move to continuing
beginner . Using the foundation from introductory beginner,
you will start exploring the more complicated basic bellydance movements
as well as refining and combining all of the beginner material.
This level introduces the important concept of layering body movements
and isolations over a shimmy. If you are a returning student and
are not sure wheather you should take continuing beginner or intermediate,
please talk to your teacher. In this level, the finger cymbals are
introduced. Students take contuning beginner level classes
for an average of six months.
Students who have completed all beginner levels can move to intermediate.
Intermediate bellydance covers intense layered shimmies, complex
combinations, rhythm identification, finger cymbal mastery, more
challenging movements, fantastic steps, as well as delving into
choreography and improvisation. Veil and finger cymbals are required
for this class. Intermediate students learn a block of choreography
and stay in this level for an average of one year.
Advanced bellydance puts together
all of the skills you have learned so far while adding even more
challenging and physically demanding movements. In advanced bellydance,
we also put an emphasis on developing and identifying style through
improvisation and choreography. Upon completion of our advanced
level, students will be able to perform a complete bellydance show
with Oriental, folk, pop, percussion, and prop dances. Students
take the advanced level class for an average of one year.
You can do the advanced class indefinately as new material is always
being introduced.
The weekly professional class is
designed for working belly dancers. In this class, professional
bellydancers refine their technique, polish their shows, learn choreography,
and learn hot new moves while getting practical advice and feedback
on issues important to working belly dancers.
Our Egyptian Folkdancing class
is a fantastic addition to a bellydance education and a great opportunity
to learn the wonderfully fun and physical dances of Egypt. The class
is taught by Nada, a native of Cairo and an alumnus of the prestigious
Reda Troupe of Egypt. This class is open to everyone.
Choregraphy Sampler class teaches
approximately three short, low intermediate level choreographies
each session. This is a great way to learn new moves and musical
interpretation. Open to continuing beginner level and up. Technique
is not stressed very heavily in this class, so it must be taken
concurrently with a regular bellydance class.

Private Lessons
Private lessons are a great way to refine technique and polish
performance skills. They are a supplement to your dance training
and should be taken along with group lessons. Dancers with a desire
to perform or teach should schedule regular private lessons for
in-depth feedback. Private lessons with Hannan are $85 an hour or
$50 each for a semi-private. Private lessons with Nada are $75 an
hour or $45 each for a semi-private. Other staff are available for
private lessons at a rate of $55 an hour or $35 each for a semi-private.
Travel charges do apply if the lesson is not at one of our studios.
We offer packages for parties. In Studio classes are $200 per class (performance including a 1 hour lesson). If you would like a performance
and belly dance lesson to add pizazz and fun to your bridal shower,
birthday, or girls night out, please see our hire
a bellydancer page.
